Some Will Not Sleep: Selected Horrors

<p><em>A bestial face appears at windows in the night. <br /> In the big white house on the hill angels are said to appear. <br /> A forgotten tenant in an isolated building becomes addicted to milk. <br /> A strange goddess is worshipped by a home-invading disciple. <br /> The least remembered gods still haunt the oldest forests. <br /> Cannibalism occurs in high society at the end of the world. <br /> The sainted undead follow their prophet to the Great Dead Sea. <br /> A confused and vengeful presence occupies the home of a first-time buyer . . . </em></p> <p>In ghastly harmony with the nightmarish visions of the award-winning writer's novels, these stories blend a lifelong appreciation of horror culture with the grotesque fascinations and childlike terrors that are the author's own.<br /> Adam L.G. Nevill's best early horror stories are collected here for the first time. </p> <p>"Adam Nevill is a spine-chiller in the classic tradition, a writer who draws you in from the world of the familiar, eases you into the world of terror, and then locks the door behind you" - Michael Koryta, <em>NYT </em>Bestselling author</p> <p>"Nevill is fast becoming Britain's answer to Stephen King" - <em>Guardian</em></p> <p>"The sense of dread is immediate, with the reader's sense of foreboding increasing with every new page" - <em>Irish Examiner</em></p> <p>"Readers will lose all hope of peaceful, undisturbed sleep.
